WWE, Now a days and in the golden era!

Today i'm going to talk about what the fans can expect from the company in 2012. I wan't to talk about what they should change, and why they should change things.

Expectations for 2012:
Of course 2012 biggest and most defining moment is going to be the main event at Wrestlemania 28, when Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is going to wrestle the biggest and most controversial superstar today, yes i'm talking about John Cena. Love him or hate him, people pay to watch Cena so they can express their opinions about him. Anyway, this match is the biggest match in the WWE history. Why? I tell you why.

Because:
1- The Rock was the biggest superstar in the golden era of WWE (attitude era), and on his six "short" years in the company, Rocky fought against the greatest wrestlers in the world, and ended his career as one of the greatest wrestlers in the world.
2- John Cena is one of the biggest Superstars in the WWE history (love him or hate him), and he also has fought legends like Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, Triple H, Big Show and so on.
3- The WWE has trouble with the ratings and their popularity these days, and a comeback from "The Great One" is an attempt to get up their popularity again.
4- This match feature the two most controversial superstars in the companies history. Rock is one of the biggest actors these days, headlining films like Fast Five, Faster, Get Smart and Walking Tall.
John Cena has competed in the main event at Wrestlemania 7 years in a row, winning 5 of these matches. The 10 time WWE-champion has defeated Triple H, JBL, Shawn Michaels, Big Show and Batista at Wrestlemania, but his match at WM 28 is going to be his biggest match of all time.
5- This match is the most defining match for the WWE in the history, and a successes in this match might change a lot for the company.

The second biggest expectation for 2012, is the famous streak to the Undertaker. Will he return in time for Mania 28? Who will he face, and will the streak end?

My guess would be Undertaker vs Triple H, where Undertaker ends victorious.



The companies problems:

Even though WWE is only 14 weeks away from their biggest match in the history, they have to face with other problems in the company.

2011 was not a successes for WWE if you ask me, because of their low ratings and their horrible scripting of story-lines. The reasons of their low ratings must be their "boring" shows trough out 2011.

I wan't to talk about WWE 12 years ago in their golden era, and compare their attitude era with the 2011/2012 PG/ET era.
The attitude era had it all, great story-lines, long lasting feuds (Austin vs Rock, Kane vs Undertaker), and most important amazing shows that made high ratings. Trough the golden era, the ratings of Raw and Smack-down was super high, because each show had something crazy that happened. Big magazines and talk-shows discussed Raw/Smack-down and their superstars, and the company was always in the spotlight.
Why was it like this?

Because of the scripting if you ask me. In the golden era the scripters was former wrestlers with creative minds, who knew how to finish a story-line when they started it. The superstars was free to say what they wanted on the mic (some flopped), and each show usually had an amazing twist at the end.

Now a days, Stephanie McMahon is in charge of the scripting and making story-lines, and if you watched Raw and Smack-down trough 2011 you would agree to me when I say that you did not had a story-line that really finished. First of all let's talk about the story-line of the "anonymous-general manager at Raw." It lasted  for like 7 or 8 months, without a finish. Suddenly the computer was removed from the show, and this summer Triple H took over the role as general manager, until John Laurinaitis suddenly took over the role as   general manager. The second story-line for me is the Cm Punk revolution, that I really loved until the day after Night Of Champions. Punk and Triple H had on of the greatest match in this companies history, where Triple H was victorious. The day after the match, suddenly Cm Punk started to talk about a conspiracy that was bigger then Triple H and so on. Suddenly Punk and The Game was "best friends", while Punk after a while stopped talking about the "conspiracy", and later he won the title.

Another factor is the shows these days. They have no action, and the superstars fight each other without a meaning, and the shows are so predictable. You actually don't have a real feud going on at the shows either, and non real good story-lines (I blame the scripters). Even though the company has given the fans what we demanded (Punk as Champ, Ryder as champ, Bryan as Champ and Cena in less main events), the universe don't tune in to watch the shows. Why is that? I got two words for you: The scripters..

If the company don't change their writers and start doing something, they will loose more fans. It doesn't matter if Chris Jericho returns, if Goldberg returns, if Lesnar return or any other great superstar returns. Because the show is boring, predictable and has no great story-lines. It's not any action either, and a lot of crazy stuffs happens on the show (Zack Ryder used 20 minutes to Change a tire, and was then taken by Kane). If the company want's to change their bad ratings, they need to find new writers, and bring back those action filled shows with unexpected twists on their shows and so on. For me it seams like the "non controversial" shows happens because of the fact that Linda McMahon is running for the senate.

The main event at WM 28 will not change a thing, unless the company brings back some more creative story-lines and some more action filled shows. If they don't do this, the ratings will stay low, and the arenas will not be sold out. The company has great superstars like Kane, Cena, Punk and Ryder, now start use them right if you wan't to change something.

As always, sorry for my bad English.
